 ====== The Modern Age of Cahyali ======
+The Modern Age is marked by two major things: the rise of adventuring as a notable profession on Cahyali, and the reigns of terror of the nations [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] and [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora.]] This would culminate in a war that embroiled the entirety of Esrior, save for the Sublime Veld.

+==== Battle of the Blooming Wood ====
 Following the failed attack on Victoria, [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Ork]] declared war on [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok,]] citing multiple accounts of terrorism on New Spire City and the President's death. The HTUC has declared martial law for the time being. [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora]] and [[settings:cahyali:nahrul|Nahrul]] also declared their intention to ally with Ley'Ork, naming the new alliance the **Blazing Coalition.**

 It was reported to the military that a major hospital and town of [[gods:isis|Isisites,]] named Brensweep, was destroyed by a Pthoran strike team. Any survivors have not yet been found. Fleeing the war, refugees from the greater Victoria area have made their way south to Aquino.

 With the threat of the Blazing Coalition, the rest of the Oxis Alliance has finally made a statement, intending to assist Shinneok in resisting the combined Ley'Orkian and Pthoran forces.

 Cahyali has been embroiled, in near totality, in war.
+==== Fall of Arenti ====
+In early Halden 2558, [[settings:cahyali:ulos|Ulosian]] Republican scouts reported back to the capital recently with harrowing news: it appears that the [[settings:cahyali:leyork|Ley'Orkian]] navy stationed on its western coast is preparing its fleet for invasion into the Medius Ocean. In preparation to defend itself, Ulos has begun the process of temporarily withdrawing the majority of its forces from fighting near the Oxian Gulf, promising to re-send reinforcements once the threat to the Abundant Expanse has been dealt with.
+However, in the gray foggy morning of 2/24/2558, a detachment of Blazing Coalition forces invaded the southern bays of [[settings:cahyali:arenti|Arenti.]] Unprepared, the Arentian forces were pushed across the River Martinaise, back to their capital of Reggiarte over a three-day period of fierce fighting. Despite calling for reinforcements, the sudden nature of the attack rendered [[settings:cahyali:vervand|Vervand]] and [[settings:cahyali:shinneok|Shinneok]] unable to respond in time, with the first vanguard of royalist forces arriving only when Ley'Orkian mechs were already in siege upon the Reggiarte outskirts. Many priceless locales were razed, and an as-of-yet uncounted number of exquisite artistic works were destroyed in the invasion.
+The invasion of Ulos was a feint, with the preparing Ley'Orkian ships sailing not for Moku'pele, but north to Arenti. Ulos, with its navies drawn close to its heartland, was also rendered unable to lend aid in time. The white flag was flown over the House of Justice on 2/27, signaling an official Arentian surrender. Reggiarte is now under full control of the Coalition, with a fairly even occupying force between Ley'Ork and [[settings:cahyali:pthora|Pthora.]] The other cities in Arenti have been given an ultimatum: surrender willingly to Coalition occupation, or face the same fate as Reggiarte.
+It has been reported that the Unicorn Knights, Arenti's most elite fighting force, was found on the main thoroughfares leading through the city - the unicorns' horns pierced through mech windows and into the hearts of their drivers. The Knights' captain's body is rumored to have been found resting on the body of his steed on the steps of the House of Justice, surrounded by ten enemy men. Not a single Knight was found alive.
+Despite this surrender, Arenti's leader, Iudex (High Judge) Chrysanthe Félicien Roux was not captured by Coalition forces. She is believed to have escaped the city, with the Unicorn Knights' sacrifice having bought her enough time for an unknown group to spirit her away from Reggiarte. A bounty has been posted, promising a handsome sum of Ley'Orkian gold notes for her delivery into Coalition hands - alive.
